Redundancy and reorganisation

Hopefully your business is going from strength to strength, but there may come a time when particular roles or tasks are no longer required or need to be carried out differently.

How we can help

You need to follow a reasonable procedure if you are considering dismissing employees due to redundancy. We can assist you to minimise the risk of claims by:

Advising whether there is a redundancy situation

Providing practical guidance regarding procedures

Preparing selection matrixes

Calculating redundancy payments

If you are in a situation where redundancies may be necessary, it is crucial that you take advice at an early stage. However, if you have already taken action which may result in a claim, we can consider whether the risk can be managed by use of a Settlement Agreement.
